Holles led a life of political involvement and intrigue that included imprisonment at Marshalsea. Over the course of his political life, Holles took part in both the Civil war and the Restoration.

This pamphlet is an account of Holles' intercession on the behalf of the French gentlemen, and of his dispute with Lord Chief Justice Keeling.
